Yes yes, I know I saved in this vid. I have learned that I will never be a speedrunner. Doing this map without loading a save killed my soul. The single fight where spectres and cacos spawn in a tight area four minutes in felt like pure RNG and redoing the first part of a map over and over when I've already learned that bit is just not fun to me in any way.

I did a few runs of map 3 without saves and the fight in the middle of the map, where there's a super small area with a cyber junior and two archviles, is just pure RNG. Sometimes I take almost zero damage, other times the archviles target me immediately and I die in seconds. Redoing the start of the map just to get to a part where I roll the dice on my life isn't fun to me. I'll continue playing the WAD but I'm going to use saves before fights. I'll upload map 3 tomorrow probably.

Also, this is on gzdoom with doom (strict) compat flags. I downloaded DSDA and tried to get the launcher but it would require running make commands to compile it and as I said, I'm not gonna be a speedrunner, so no need for a proper demo anyways.
